My goodness just read them last two posts and confused myself. Here's the exact elevations. It's only 11 and all were facing north, east, northeast, or on a lowest point (somewhat). Max elevation in the area of the seal is 1250 and min is 950.

Hope this helps, Jim]]>Goldenseal (Yellow Root)Thu, 25 Dec 2014 08:35:11 +0000Fall planting goldenseal rootlets? - by: houndhttp://wildgrown.com/index.php/forum/14-goldenseal-yellow-root/32465-fall-planting-goldenseal-rootlets#32778

I'm not sure which plant you are referring to when you mention the deer problem and they probably are predators of both, but quite a few years ago when I grew peaches and apples commercially I had deer problems and since I was in the hairstyling business I was able to get a lot of hair that had been freshly cut to spread around the younger trees. Many sources recommended at that time to do this because it had human scent to it. I also used a professional one called \&quot;Hinder\&quot;.
I don't know if you have looked at the Appalachian Outlaws website, but they have several 3 or 4 minute segments about different characters that are on the show. They are different and more personal. One of them shows the fellow \&quot;Rufus\&quot;, walking over his farm and talking about taking care of the many things that he grows on his property. It shows him boiling and stirring a pan of egg whites. He then takes a handful of weeds and dips it into the mixture and slings it around the edges of his corn patch. He says that it helps control deer coming in and taking his crop. I'm sure you would need something that is a little more lasting and I can't think of anything any better than a 243caliber once in a while to go with the other things. Good luck with that problem.

They are the ones who the National Forestry Offices tells you will be watching you but I have never seen one! I have seen one Game Warden in the many years that I have hunted Deer, Turkey, Wild Boar and Ginseng in the National Forests but never a Hidden Ranger. LOL!!!!

The color of the roots can be affected by the drying process. Even roots that were dried properly will be brown on the outside, but should still be yellow in the middle. If it's not yellow in the middle when dry, the roots could have been dried to fast (causing discoloration), or they may have been old and sitting around for awhile. Either of those two factors would also affect alkaloid content of the roots and cause variation in medicinal quality. The alkaloid content of the roots is also variable based on how and where they were grown, i.e. amount of sun, soil composition and pH. Based on research trials, roots that recieve more sun tend to have higher concentrations of medicinally active compounds, resulting from stress on the plant from excess sun. Those are the most likely reasons for the differences in product and medicinal potency.

I think the best way to take goldenseal is by extract. If you are making your own extract, or other medicines, I would recommend using fresh roots rather than dried.

Wow, that is going to look awesome. Japanese Red Laceleaf Maples are so beautiful, expensive little critters too. I saw your post on your ginseng plants. That is amazing that some of the seed has come up already. It will continue to thicken up and some seed will not pop up until up to 2 weeks or more later than the first seed that emerges.
Good luck.

Scott Persons book is is the most complete manual for growing Ginseng. He has been growing seng for over 30 years.

The first half of the book is all about seng. From the history to planting, harvesting and dealing with disease. The second half of the book is all about Goldenseal and other woodland medicinals.

Plant just a single row of yellow root every 9' or so as Scott Persons recommends in his book, which would only be 1-2 thousand cuttings. I'm not looking to create a whole patch of goldenseal, but to create a better habitat for my existing seng.

I planted 1/2 a pound yesterday and I planted it the same way as I do ginseng seed. Except I tried to get only 2 seeds to 1 square foot ratio. The soil is awesome in the woods where I planted the goldenseal seed. These planting beds were very large and I put 800 seeds per 400 square foot beds in multiple 400 square foot beds. I planted about 12,000 seeds.
It only took me about 5 hours to do all of this and I am not against planting root cuttings by any means. Its just so much easier to plant seeds. I have no idea how long it would take to plant 12,000 root cuttings but I know it would be days not hours
I too am going to plant some root cuttings next year so maybe I will get an idea of how long it will take.
But the seed seems the way to go for me for a large planting.]]>Goldenseal (Yellow Root)Sun, 07 Nov 2010 19:59:58 +0000yellow root prices - by: 5pronghttp://wildgrown.com/index.php/forum/14-goldenseal-yellow-root/6338-yellow-root-prices#7017

Last fall, I got into some ground hornets while digging some nice 3 and four prongs. You guys would have just laughed your arses off if somebody would have been videotaping that episode. After getting stung multiple times I decided to abandon any thoughts of digging that last four prong. Now these multiple stings took place in micro seconds, so it wasn't a time consuming decision. I ran outta there probably 25 yards away or so and stopped only to get divebombed again. This one insane hornet must have chased me 500 yards through them woods. That sucker was circling my head about 5 times per second as I was all out sprinting through them woods ( I'm sure my sprint would just be a jog to some of you younger guys, but it was still a lot faster than I had moved in quite a few years).
If someone would've been just sitting on that hillside as I ran past swatting my arms around my head they would've surely thought This guys gone nuts or ecaped a mental institution or something. I'm just sure glad there weren't no video cameras in the woods with me that day.
